best sights

Uncle Chris and Nevi- best view of the streets on sweet Uncle Chris's shoulders!

Oh my this bull dog at the Cafe Centro one morning....seriously.

crossing the Golden Gate Bridge!!!!

Arriving San Fran

Our first stop once arriving in downtown SF, was the 21st Amendment Brew Pub just around the corner from our dear friends, Erene & Chris's place. Devin was finally really on vacation and so deserving of some BEER!

It was so sunny and beautiful we played at South Park- our favorite little neighborhood play place!

Sarah likes it cause Cafe Centro is on the corner over looking the play park!

And to top it off- ice cream!!!!!

Thank you Jan & Jack

Almost the entire time we were home in Oregon, Devin's Mom~Jan and dear Jack welcomed us to stay with them on this beautiful piece of land. What a pleasure to come home to this place and these loving people. Nevi and I were there almost a month and Devin 2 weeks....we appreciate your hospitality, love, flexibility, baking skills, fun, and willingness for us to come and go as we needed and pleased!!!! Thank you from our hearts to yours for being so loving and supportive! We will be back in three months to fill up on Grandma and Grandpa LOVE!!!!

Old Friends

Thank you Niko and Gigi for creating a special party for Nevi! What fun for all these girls who went to school together for years to be back together playin and party-ing!!! Thank you dear friends.

Chicken Shopping

Grandma, Nevi and I went chicken shopping as we called it...it was time for Grandma and Grandpa to replenish their chicken coop. So we came home with 2 new hens to join the one still present...and a free Rooster who we named Freedom! The girls and Freedom are happy in their new roost...and love being free outside all day. Nevi loves more than anything collecting the eggs each day~ Oh man is Grandma and Grandpa's a fun place to be.

Baking with Grandma

Genevieve loves to bake with her Grandma...I think while we were staying with them, Nevi baked this Strawberry Whipped Cream cake from scratch...pancakes from scratch...apple sour cream crumb pie...and perhaps even helped with the Strawberry rhubarb pie!

Delighted with their success!

Servin it up!
